A composition of the Beast intro screen using screen grabs from the STe version

This is a recreation of the title sequence from Shadow of the Beast, for the Atari STe. The Amiga original adorned the shop window of almost every computer retailer in the early 90's and became a showcase for the machines capabilities.

This version uses the additional hardware of the Atari STe to recreate the same 12 layers of parallax scrolling, all the Copper raster effects, the moon, blimp and tree sprites and — just like the Amiga original — it runs on a stock 512k machine.

Requirements

An Atari STe, Mega STe (8 or 16 MHz), or an Atari emulator with at least 512Kb RAM.

Download

The download is a ZIP archive containing a .TOS file, which can be launched from the desktop of your Atari STe.
